PhilHealth Run 2013: Nationwide Run for Mother and Child Protection
My first FUN RUN for this year 2013.
Great run with the PHILHEALTH.
Actually to sum it up, this is my 4th FUN RUN; (1) ATENEO: Running for Sendong families and Rebuild Lives (2) ATENEO: iRUN: RUN FOR INTEGRITY and (3) PHILIPPINE RED CROSS: iVOLUNTEER: RUN FOR HUMANITY
I've once joined a fun run before but this PHILHEALTH FUN RUN is very different, aside from it is organized by a Government Institution, this is my first time to run alone.
Experiencing running alone. This heightened experience is common to all veteran runners. When we do running we often love to be in a group, just like you can't run without your peers, the camaraderie. Having thoughts to join the run since I myself love to run in a group. But due to some reason my partner in running did not make it so I have no choice but to run alone.
Been amazed at what I've seen on the day of my run, held at SM CITY DAVAO PARKING C. I've seen many, many people. So much traffic while entering the place.
The event scheduled Sunday, February 17.
It starts at exactly 4:00 in the morning.
While we are doing our warm up exercise, 18K
RUNNERS are already preparing their race.
Followed by the 3K(Kiddie & Adult Race), then 5k, and lastly the 10K.
I choose to run 5k again.
My first 5k RUN is a bit scary, exciting, and overwhelming(read story here). I know I have to accelerate my run on a higher kilometer run, my last run happened to be a 7k run(read story here)but I am afraid that I can't make it to higher level trail anymore because I consider myself as an occasional runner and beside I don't have that training.
"I only run for a cause". For me my 7K run is the most difficult run I've every made.
And for this is my first run for this year, with no exercise and training, I've done my 5k run for 1 hour, 27 minutes and 32 seconds.
Just for the record:
Bad to see my performance decelerated. Comparing my last 5k run I've finished it for only 1 hour. Well as I've said lately I am not a professional runner. I only run occasionally but still it is a GREAT RUN for me because not only that I've received lots of freebies I also HELP raised awareness to PROTECT Mother and Children HEALTH.
FREEBIES.......
Special thanks to my friend Nilo Nacion of PHILHEALTH DAVAO.
